==Proposal for New Year Meet 2010/2011==
  
==New Year==
+
Our annual New Year's trip to Yorkshire. We will be staying at BULL POT FARM and it isn't mandatory to come for the full week. It's an excellent way to do some out of term caving!
Bull Pot Farm with an array of permits from Easegill, Leck Fell, Gaping Gill, Allotment (maybe also Aygill Caverns)?<br>
+
The plan below is just a list of the permits we got so far but there are plenty of non permit caves in Yorkshire and endless possibilities of caving :)  
Alternatively, Ireland was mentioned as an alternative?
 
  
TS: BPF suits me best - happy to lead any of the Easegill trips.

I'll try and get permits for the following caves probably in Easter term (but please suggest any others you want to visit):

After pub discussion, we came to this plan (more or less?):
  
Add yourself here:
